TA: total amount (mg/L beer) of free phenolic compounds for each regular and low alcoholic beer. Mean values ± SD from triplicate analysis PA with different letters within rows are significantly different (p < 0.05),* LA-PA significantly different from the corresponding PA (p < 0.05),# LOQ previously reported.33§TPC and AA of PA were previously published,34 and they were reported herein for a direct comparison with LA-PA; nd = not detected; nq = not quantitated.
